I talked to the surgeon and anesthesiologist before surgery because I always get nausea and vomiting with narcotics. Rather than give me Zofran or something like it along with the narcotics, they gave me Tylenol and Ibuprofen both in the hospital (IV) and at home (OTC pills). Hasn't been a problem, but it is kind of odd since normally they have you stay away from IB.

When I drink, I feel gas bubbles in my stomach. Almost like the Fluid I'm taking in is displacing gas in my stomach. Feels very odd.

I'm having a hard time distinguishing between hunger, gas, and mild nausea. It all just feels so weird now.

Now that some time has passed I hope that you are doing well with your recovery. I had my surgery 2/29/2016 and it took me 4 weeks to recover. I had to come home with oxygen because my levels were so low. Than 2 weeks after surgery I was so nauseated that they put me on two different types of meds that made me so tired. It literally took me 4 weeks before I could come back to work and week 5 I was just trying to get my energy levels back. I have had major Constipation during this time and major diarrhea at other times. Just trying to find my balance through all of this. Now at week 7 I am experiencing a weight loss stall. Who ever came up with the term that this is the easy way out should be SHOT! Would I do this all over again? Absolutely! But it certainly has been a life altering experience. Sending best wishes!!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
